That’s a complete non sequitur. Everything we learn changes the way we view the world. You cannot make version control software without a data model that needs to be learned. Git’s model is very easy to visualize.
What a time to be alive. We pulled that exact thing out on a school trip, and two of my classmates were so affected they literally collapsed. Placebo is kinda crazy. The entire thing doesn’t actually work, of course, but that scene did make me doubt, a tiny bit.
> Give up, and go to old.reddit.com, which is ugly and not designed for mobile, but at least works okay.
Wait, are you kidding? I thought you were talking about using it on desktop. New reddit is literally unusable on mobile. This is what it looks like for me (https://imgur.com/a/pa07d2c). New reddit isn’t just unusable, it is literally nonfunctional. I can only imagine it’s been deliberately destroyed to drive people away from the web over to the app. They do something similar with links. All links from new reddit have their underscores "escaped" with \. Basically they corrupt the URL. If you’re on old reddit, you get these bad links and have to fix them yourself, but new reddit does it for you, of course.
Have had colleagues who were required to not work for their resignation period (3 months). "Professional quarantine," since they were going to competitors.
Perhaps, but imagine no need for surgery, no need for anesthesia, all wounds, illnesses and ailments fixed simply by switching the damaged part, or switching bodies entirely.
You can only feel sunshine and grass because your brain interprets sensory signals from your body. It’s easy to imagine a world where your cyborg body can deliver those same signals. If the sensation is the same, why would you _not_ exhchange your fragile meat sack of a body with a far more versatile mechanical one?
Radagast fits the druid archetype more than the wizard archetype nowadays. Gandalf is a unique case in my head. He’s more of a battlemage, the way I see it, if you ignore that he’s basically an angel.
You’re reading that wrong. Of course you burn more calories through exercise. Michael Phelps couldn’t have eaten 12k cals a day if exercise didn’t burn calories.
Increasing the energy prices isn’t a solution. It’d affect to poor disproportionally, while also being greatly destabilizing for society at large. It’s basically a flat tax for heating your home.
Norway recently experienced its highest energy prices ever, in large part because of tighter coupling with the European market. Some people got bills 10x of previous years. Using less energy simply isn’t an option here, otherwise you freeze to death, or damage your home. It led to a massive political outcry that was easily exploitable by populists.
You can’t go back on decades of energy policy in that short a time frame, and you can’t do it without easing the tax burden somewhere else. The current government in Norway is polling extremely low. So low they probably won’t recover by the next election in 3 years. And they didn’t even cause the spike in energy prices here. I dread to imagine what would happen if a government intentionally hiked the enrgy prices just to stop bitcoin miners…
I shouldn’t need a 4k monitor to watch at a better quality than 720p. The only reason I use Edge these days is because that idiotic (and purposeful) limitation isn’t present there (for some reason).
Free speech is the concept, the human right. The first amendment is the government’s pinky promise to not violate that right. Swearsies. Unless you say something they’d rather be secret, of course.
It’s kinda funny that people are so afraid of burying a small amount of radioactive material, but are perfectly happy with dumping all the waste from fossil fuels in the air we breathe and the atmosphere we depend on to survive.
I didn’t know my father’s suicide and my subsequent depression was caused by governments, politicians, or general existence in the modern capitalist world. Thanks for giving me this deep insight.
Pretty sure that was a moderator action. If it was /r/games, the mods there don’t seem too interested in informing you when they action your comments or posts. They very very often remove comments because of the «no off-topic discussion» rule, even if it’s literally just one off-topic sentence in a paragraph long comment.
It’s not really all that good at taking in new inputs, at least if our brains are anything like other mammals. There have been experiments where animals have certain senses depraved (eye sewn shut, for example) early in life, and then opened after their brain had fonished developing. Their brains never «learned» to take in the new sensory signals afterwards. At least not to the extent of a regular individual with all their senses since birth.
